<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>I'm running the Edinburgh Marathon for Eilidh Brown who was only 14 when she collapsed on a school trip in February 2009. A scan showed that she had a tumour the size of a melon which was promptly removed along with her left ovary.</p> <p>Test showed the tumour was malignant and that she also had a form of Turners Syndrome, a chromosomal disorder which occurs in 1 out of 2000 girls and is likely to have made her predisposed to Germ cell cancer in her ovaries. Throughout the year, Eilidh endured several major surgeries to remove various tumours as well as countless hours of chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Sadly, Eilidh passed away on 25th March 2010, 9 days short of her 16th birthday.</p> <p>Eilidh's little brother, Lewis, plays in the football team that I coach and his family are very supportive with everything we try to achieve with the kids.</p> <p>I am therefore running the Edinburgh Marathon on behalf of the Eilidh Brown Memorial Fund to give something back for all the support they have shown me. <span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"> <p><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"> <p><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"> </span></p> </span></p> </span></p> <p>Please dig deep and donate as much or as little as you can.</p> <p>Thanks.</p> <p>Stephen.</p>
